I dont read a lot of books but one i would recommend is " seeker after truth " by idries Shah. Its not really a religious book,more zen,philosophy,sufi type thing. It has some really good questions,short stories etc.I had never read a book of that sort before until someone gave it me,he said it would help me understand why my thinking of things appeared to be different than others,but of course that may not be the type of book you mean,so ignore me lol

Hello, Without giving you a dozen or so great titles, I would just encourage you to read books about things, places, people and stuff you don't know anything about or just a little about and want more. It is always good to use the reading venue as a learning venue but one of excitement and desire not force or recommendation.

But if you still want some great title, in my opinion, these are those books to read . . .

1) The Stand by Stephen King
2) House of the Seven Gables by Nathanial Hawthorne
3) Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
4) Warped Passages by Lisa Randall
5) Life at Death by Kenneth Ring
6) Native Son by Albert Camus
7) The Good Earth by Pearl Buck
8) Of Mice & Men by John Steinbeck
9) A Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl
10) 1984 by George Orwell

Happy Reading and have a wonderful holiday!

Anything by Richard Bach. Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, One, and The Bridge Across Forever are some of my favorite books of all time. They're stories that change the way you think about things and how you look at the world. I haven't had a chance to read his Ferrets books yet, but I expect them to be just as good.

If you are interested in perfection in lie read AYN RAND'S Fountain Head. If you are interested in interesting short stories, read O'Henry's Collection of Short stories and Guy Muppusant's dhort stories that makes easy and humous reading.

I am fond of reading Harry Potter. It is one book that everyone can really appreciate. I also love reading Paulo Coelho's books because they are filled with insights and really you tend to introspect afterwards.:)
